How to back up and restore your Blackberry 3rd party applications
Here’s how to back up and restore your 3rd party apps on your Blackberry. This should work for PC users with Blackberry Desktop Manager (written for v5.0)… sorry Mac.
Backup
Step 1:
Connect your BlackBerry to your PC and open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Click the “Switch Device Wizard” button. On the “switch device dialog box”, click the “Switch BlackBerry Devices” button.
Step 2:
Select your device and make sure the “allow me to select applications….” button is checked. Click “Next”. If you have a password, enter it and continue.
Step 3:
If you just want your apps, check “Third Party Applications” and leave “Include Messages” and “User Data Settings” unchecked. Click the Next button.
Step 4:
Once the operation is complete, do NOT click next or cancel. Search your PC for files and folders with the same name as your BlackBerry PIN. Make sure you search hidden folders as well. You may also type %temp% in the path bar of an explorer window and find the folder that’s named by your PIN.
Step 5:
Copy the folder with your PIN as the name to a safe location. This is your backup.
Step 6:
You may now cancel and close the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Your backup is complete!
